A pair of former college football players in Colorado faced elimination on the premiere of “WWE Tough Enough” on Tuesday.

CSU-Pueblo graduate Joshua Bredl and Hank Avery Jr., who redshirted his freshman year at Air Force, were two of the three the judges selected for a vote from fans. The one with the fewest votes was eliminated. Bredl finished second with 26 percent. Avery was last with 22 percent, becoming the first to be eliminated from show. (WATCH:The voting results)

In an interview with WWE superstar The Miz after the vote, Bredl responded to his performance.

“I’m not proud of that, babe,” he said to The Miz. “… I didn’t really take part in the whiny drama. I’m here to get better, I’m here to learn. I said right off the gate, I’m a blank slate and these coaches are artists and I’m trying to become something.”

With little but a vague ad and a few paragraphs of marketing-speak (“The Lexus hoverboard represents true engineering innovation” oh rly now), the car company Lexus throws its hat into the “hey we’re making a hoverboard” ring:

Add me to the list of those who will believe the hoverboard when we see the hoverboard.

The premise of the game is about three giant monsters — George (a King Kong-esque gorilla), Lizzie (a Godzilla-esque monster) and Ralph (a werewolf) — who try to completely raze a city to the ground. Players control each monster and try to get a high score by causing more destruction.

According to Deadline, the project is slated to being production in summer 2016, after Johnson finishes work on “Fast & Furious 8” (yes, there’s going to be an eighth installment to that series).

Nothing is known about the plot of the Rampage movie or when it is slated to be released yet.

Tom Holland was announced Monday as the latest actor to take the role of Peter Parker and his alter-ego Spider-Man, according to Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios.

The 19-year-old will play the lead in the web-slinger’s next film, which is slated for a July 28, 2017 release date. The movie will be directed by Jon Watts.

Holland, who was born in England, is best known for his roles in “The Impossible” and “Wolf Hall.”

“We had to find a vibrant, talented young actor capable of embodying one of the most well-known characters in the world,” producer Amy Pascal said in a news release. “With Tom, we’ve found the perfect actor to bring Spider-Man’s story into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”

In Cody’s speech, he shared his father’s love for his family; a story about how his father promised to give him a Rolex if Cody won the world heavyweight title, only to learn that Dusty had sold it to allow his son to pursue his dream; and an intimate look at Cody’s final hours with his dad.

Dusty Rhodes died on June 11.

It’s definitely a good read:

“DADDY”

I am honored and I am privileged to tell this gathering today who Dusty was…who he was in his heart.

Although his profession claimed so much of his identity, it was such a minuscule portion of the man…

Looking for a new “Face of WWE”? Well, Hank Avery Jr. was literally a poster boy for Mercer University football from 2012 to 2013. Standing at 6-foot-4 and topping 270 pounds, with a lingering fear of frogs, this gridiron veteran, husband and father makes his living as a pool maintenance manager. But it’s only a matter of time before he’s making a splash on a far bigger stage. Just no frogs, please.

“WWE Tough Enough” premieres June 23 at 6 p.m. on USA Network. Each week, a contestant will be eliminated until one man and one woman remains to each receive a contract with the company.

But rather than the two moguls battling one another in the ring, they enlisted champions to fight for them. McMahon chose Umaga while Trump went with Bobby Lashley.

Lashley, who runs American Top Team Altitude martial arts facility in Aurora, took a break from his MMA training and shared with me his experience wrestling for The Donald in front of 80,000 people.

From Lashley:

That particular WrestleMania was unbelievable.

Things just get tossed to me and I don’t even get a minute to process it before it happens. So when I found out I was representing Donald Trump for the “Battle of the Billionaires,” I was like, “OK, that sounds like a cool match.”

And they were like, “Do you understand you’re going to be in the main event at WrestleMania?”

And I was like, “I guess.” And then Stone Cold (Steve Austin), he came in, too. And then there was Stone Cold, Vince was there, Shane (Vince’s son) was there. And then Donald Trump brings Miss America and Miss Universe. And I was like, “What in the world is going on here?”

I remember coming out for that WrestleMania. I always say this and it’s hard to explain. It was so loud, it was quiet when you walked out. It was so loud, it was deafening when you walked out. Donald Trump walked out right before me and at the time they dropped $250,000 on the crowd. So when I was walking, there were $50 bills, $20 bills and all these bills when I was walking out. So I was there trying to drag my foot, trying to drag a couple dollars.

We hit everything in that. Everything went perfect. We did the press conference at Trump Towers. I bodyslammed Vince on the table. None of this planned, all this stuff just went.

And then after the match, I grabbed Vince and shaved his head. Climbed up to the top rope. Stone Cold takes a beer, gives a beer to me and I was like, “Whoa, this is amazing.” Everything about that experience, you can’t even explain.

Lashley will fight Dan Charles in an MMA heavyweight bout Friday at Bellator 138. My full story with Lashley runs later this week.

The 14-second clip shows a variety of characters from the series but doesn’t make any mention of stories or plots.
